Soil Consulting and Crop Consulting in Illinois. You may call it soil testing, soil sampling, or soil health management, but it is more than that. These are my daily or weekly travels in soil and crop consulting and my observations in the agricultural world.

All Grass Terraces

This is one of the first harvested fields I have seen in Montgomery County. Weeds are making the all grass narrow base terraces in the background show up well. Narrow base terraces are versatile because they can be laid out to handle most machinery widths and you don't need to worry about flexibility on the ridges. Weeds could be controled better by a burn when the weeds freze or in the spring. Seitchgrass is a good native species to use in these situations.
